I will be gone tomorrow (Friday the 1st) and again Monday (April 4th), due to childcare issues. I get another four day weekend with my boy and the students will continue on learning with Mrs. Hanna (and Miss Mallo will be here both days, too). I expect students to be on their BEST behavior while I am gone. I know I will get a great report when I return on Tuesday. And, IF a student is every disrespectful for a guest teacher, I charge A LOT of money! :)
This week in reading we will continue to explore Unit 7: Making a Difference. This week's theme vocabulary words are: ordinary, organize, and volunteer. We will explore the question: In what ways do people make a difference? We will focus on the skills of making inferences, using context clues to figure out tricky words, paraphrasing, and adjectives that compare (comparatives and superlatives). Students will finish their rough draft of their Inquiry essay and type them on Wednesday. Most students did a really nice job comparing and contrasting two extreme animals. It's amazing to see how far they've come with their writing this year!
In math, we will continue learning about perimeter and area. We will have a quiz mid-week to make sure that we have mastered that skill, and then we will begin working on more advanced area and perimeter concepts.
After looking over your child's report card, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The envelopes need to be returned to school on Monday. Thanks for raising such great kiddos and sharing them with me -- this is truly a very special group!
Code Word = April Already?
